Kudos to my Mom for alerting me to the International Pictures of the Year awards. (Note: Many pictures possess graphic content.) One particular picture in the general reporting category captured my complete attention. At first glance the picture seems to display the conditions of an old British slave ship -- one which would have appalled our hero William Wilberforce. But the caption paints a different story: the conditions of an overcrowded Malawi prison. Check it out.

It's conditions like these that fuel the work of such great organizations as Prison Fellowship International. Take a moment to check out their site and witness all the marvelous prison reform efforts taking place around the globe!
